: Whew. What a relief. Another apocalypse that came and went without destroying Planet Earth. Just like Y2K. Just like the guy who started the global warming notion in 1984 - and predicted the planet would be a scorched earth that couldn't support human life ... by 2004. Next apocalypse: 2012. Sigh.

If you've been keeping up with Facebook's blog (or if you've logged in over the last day or two), you may have heard that Facebook is about to implement Usernames. That might sound like a small thing to you, and Facebook's blog suggests that it is. On the contrary, I think it is more likely the beginning of what will become (Read More)
